Privacy Policy

adidas has changed how it uses your Personal Information. Those changes are highlighted below in bold text.

Protecting your Privacy

adidas America, Inc. ("adidas" or "we", "us", or "our") is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information collected at or in connection with an adidas website. This Online Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to those adidas websites that display or link to this Policy (including adidas.com/us, miadidas.com/us, and adidas.com and referred to in this Policy as the "Website"). This Policy applies to data collected by adidas through its Websites and services that display these terms. It does not apply to those adidas sites, services and products that do not display or link to this Policy or that have their own privacy policies. This Policy describes the information we collect and how we use it. By visiting our Website, you are accepting the practices described in this Policy.

What Information about me does adidas.com collect and store?

Our privacy policy is simple: Except as disclosed below, we don't sell, trade, give away, or rent your personal information to any company outside of the adidas Group.

Ultra Boost Shoes
Fast shoe, goed fit, excessive wear

February 15 2015

I did 3 runs with the Ultra boost so far.
The first was a 12k in which I set a new personal best without even trying to run fast.
The second was a 12k I ran at a pace of 5 minutes per k ( 8 minutes mile) and my heart reate was way lower than normal at that speed.
Today i did a 26k run and the pace was good.
The shoe fits well.
After having run only 50k with these shoes, I find that the wear is excessive. Some of the nobs are already completely gone. Compared with the other boost shoes I've had the wear is excessive.
That's the only issue I have with this shoe. If Adidas can fix the wear issue, they have a real winner here.
For the price they cost, this will turn out to be an expensive shoe, because i don't see myself getting the same mileage out of these shoes.

I have done three runs in these shoes a five mile, seven mile then on Saturday nineteen miles - Shoes are really nicely cushioned. I went down by half a size from original adidas boost. I bought two pairs 10.5 and 11 and took them on and off so better than buying from a running shop to dither but these are better to be close fitting.
Bit heavier and less speedy than previous models. I had a sore toe before the run due to a black nail but ran for 3 hours and it was fine. The uppers are great.
Lovely cushioning great for my sore Achilles and no problems after 19 mile long run so fantastic for a marathon.
But .... the outsole is worn after just 30 miles - the pimples are down to nothing - is the rubber too soft - I'm concerned they wont last 100 miles.
I have attached photo which shows some of the slightly worn pimples and some have worn to be flat - is this a major flaw if so adidas will get a lot of returns

A couple of things to mention, I love the Energy Boost, I love the Adios Boost. One of the things I love about Energy Boost is that first 200 meters when you set off and it feels like you are just floating compared to other shoes. When I saw the release of the Ultra Boost and the opportunity to place a pre-release order I knew I would buy them. Have run a couple of times in them now, 7mi and 8mi. Today was a 6'49" steady run. First thing was early pace surprised me, started up a big hill and Ultra Boosts made sub 7 uphill feel relatively easy. Boosts seem to suit my stride as in them it really flows and feels very smooth, U Boosts are no different in this respect. Have also found them better than Energy Boost at minimising soreness after the run. E Boosts were good in this respect but U Boost seems even better. The shoe feels totally neutral, even more so than the E Boost. Today was a light mist and ground slightly greasy, but grip of new Boosts was never really in question. As is mentioned in the PR materials, the upper is really special. It literally does fit like a glove. In E Boost I went a 1/2 size up to UK11, but in U Boost 10.5 fits me perfectly. Due mainly to the stretch of the Primeknit. I think the 1/2 size up would have been too big for me. In Adios Boost I also take 10.5, so if you have Adios Boost the same size in U Boost is fine. I guess looks are a personal preference, but my last E Boosts were Black with red inner, so for me the initial release of U Boost in Black with the blue heel cup would be my first choice in any case. They do look really nice! To summarise, I am really happy with the shoe so far, it feels fast, protects my legs even better than E Boost, fits like a glove, grips really well and looks better than the other 19 or so shoes in my collection!

I would like to start off by saying that I am very grateful that Adidas decided to bring back the T-Mac 3. I was extremely excited when I heard they were doing a T-Mac 3 retro. That said I was DISAPPOINTED in the T-Mac 3 shoes I received. There were creases, scuffs, and spots of hard dry glue all across them. The box was falling apart and didn't seem big enough to hold the shoes which may explain some of the damage. I was surprised Adidas would release them in standard box, because my T-Mac 1 retro shoes came in a special edition box that was very classy. Bottom line is when I spend $140 dollars on pair shoes I expect them to be 110 percent to my satisfaction. The shoes I got didn't come close. I am giving it a 4 star rating because I am a huge fan of the T-Mac 3, not because of the shoes I received. I do hope that Adidas comes out with more color ways of the T- Mac 3 and learns from this mistake. Because when something like this happens it makes me wonder if I should buy shoes from Adidas ever again. I wish I could have written a happier review, because the T-Mac 3 is coolest looking shoe of all time. Its also pretty decent shoe to play basketball in.

First, this shoe is amazing. Im an ex-collegiate T&F athlete with a neutral gate and forefoot-midfoot runner. I'm approx 200lbs, and need a cushioned ride. I've been looking forever for a shoe with enough fore-mid foot cushioning for the heavier, neutral runner and I feel as though everything is focused on Heel cushioning these days but this is amazing for the mid-forefoot striker! Extremely cushioned and soft yet responsive, feels great on the foot, needed two days to break the shoe in, and no injuries since I've had them. You don't want to take these babies off, believe the hype. I almost missed out on a great shoe.

I work on concrete floors all day, walking close to 5 miles a day. These shoes are like walking on beds of squishy marshmallow wonderment. I am sure if i round housed someone in the face with these on, they would thank me for the soft, gentle embrace of encouragement the sole of this shoe provides. Four of my co- workers have made the same investment in their soles! 3 X45 degrees for life!

There is only one problem with this clear. Adidas needs to make it in solid colors. A solid black, a solid grey, a solid white, etc just like the original Adidas 5 star 4.0's. Just make them in every color they make of the 4.0's I not just make them in those basic colors please. I need these cleats to match my uniform.

These are the most amazing shoes! You have to try them to believe them. I have never owned a shoe with better impact protection. I have a large collection of shoes and these really stand out. Be prepared though- you'll get nothing but stares and perpetual questions about them! They are AWESOME!

I never thought I'd love a pair of shoes so much but these shoes are something special. Initially I felt they were a bit odd and different, not in a bad way but something I wasn't used to. I really enjoyed the light weight and how incredibly comfortable they were. I love being able to wear them without socks and my feet are very comfortable. The first two days I was only walking in them around work but..
The magic happened when I finally went for a run. I wore minimalist running shoes before and the pure boost are on a completely different level. I could run longer, harder, and faster. I felt the shoe gave an incredible amount of support and comfort which most minimalist shoes don't seem to offer.
My running shoes are now my every day shoes and I couldn't be more satisfied.

This is probably the best shoe i have ever tried on. It is too bad this shoe runs small and the biggest size available is 12.5...I wear a 12 usually but since these run small i tried a 12.5 they were extremely comfortable but still small..probably the most comfortable shoe i have ever put on. Adidas you have created a god like shoe; however, its too small...please make a larger size. Would be a five star from me but you don't make a large enough shoe for me. It would be amazing if i could fully experience these shoes. Please make a size 13. With all respects, Jrob8

This is my first pair of Boost running shoes. It is a great distance running shoe: comfortable, light, provides tons of shock absorption and keeps your body feeling energized mile after mile. It fits true to size and has a generous toe box area. Future generations will wonder how we used to run on anything else.
Based on my use so far, I don't think I would use these for higher intensity running drills like 200s or shorter, but for its intended use, you can't beat it.
Construction of the shoe is very high quality, with premium blending of materials and nicely executed 3D effect with 3 stripes and logo on the tongue and heal cap.

they are the best cleats iv'e ever had but I wish they would have more simple, solid, colorways. An all navy and white pair or an all red pair without the weird secondary colors. I need my cleats to match my Highschool uniform, so i can look "LOUD", BUT presentable on the field. Please do something about it !

When I bought the Pure Boost a year or so ago I was pretty disappointed. I wanted to like them, but they were just so narrow. Also. they were comfortable, but not very stable. I was rolling my ankles all day.
Decided to give the Ultra Boost a shot hoping that ADIDAS would improve the shoe and they did! The widened the shoe so it is not so narrow, the Ultra Boost is much more stable then previous models. Also, with the addition of Prime Knit not only does it look better, but it's much more breathable.
Only downfall is that the Boost material is impossible to clean. Once you get it dirty there is no cleaning it.
Great shoe though....Buying another pair now!

Adidas missed a great opportunity with this shoe. Remember its $180.
Woven upper and fit are great.
Sockliner is cheap , poor quality for a $180 shoe.
Midsole profile and road feel are flat. The added eva in other boost styles greatly improves the feel of the boost compound.
Outsole wear is maybe the worst of any quality shoe Ive run in, visible abrasion and wear after one 5 mile run. Im not sure why they chose not to use the superior Continental rubber compound used in other models.
Bottom line, Adidas cut corners , over priced an inferior product.

I've been a big fan of the boost line since it arrived on the market, and the Ultra Boost are no exception. At first when I tried them on I thought they were too small, but once you start running in them they contour to your foot. It does take some getting used too, but the break in time is very quick. They do run true to size. I did not have to order a larger size like I had too with the original Boost or Boost 2.0. I did find the Ultra Boost less clunky feeling. I'm a heel striker and the transition from heel strike through the gait cycle to toe off was super smooth. The fit is really nice. It is snug but allows more flex than the original Boost or Boost 2.0. I noticed a great improvement in the traction. The Boost return on these are incredible !!! As I became tired on a long run, the return energy really helped a lot and I found my self not having to struggle as much as I became more tired as my run went on. There is a definite improvement in the cushioning ! It is a softer ride like the Supernova Boost 7 and Response Boost, but it's not squishy or too firm. Seems like they nailed it just right !!! Are these the best running shoe ever ? That's up for you to decide, what I can say is that the Ultra Boost is going to be very difficult for the competition to beat ! I read in some other reviews that the heel was not comfortable... I did not encounter any discomfort at all. I will be using these for my regular trainers and for an up coming 3K run. The materials have a nice sturdy feel to them. I only have a few nit pick negatives.. The laces are thin in width. I wish they were wider like the Supernova Boost 7, how ever it did not hinder performance at all. Next is the steep price. It would have been nice if there was a more friendly price tag on the Ultra Boost or maybe include a free Boost T-shirt or carry bag.
